Can't take this crap anymore


*beep* Turd Beers...first scene with Alex - "I'm the first one on the roads this year." Sure, we'll ignore the 10 other sets of tire tracks going through the snow over the ice road already.

Even when Hugh was supposed to be on his own in the earlier seasons, they we're all driving Polar trucks. WTF is that about?

Also, so all I have to do to have an ice road trucking company is show up and start cold-calling people once I'm already there and commit to multiple loads when I'm the only person that works for me?


Turd Beers is one guy who I want to tie to a tree and let him get eaten by rabid wolves in the moonlight.

Enough mouth-breathers keep watching his garbage, so The History Channel keeps feeding him money. It's a damn shame.

As for the show, it should have died with Carlyle gave THC the boot -- back in Alaska. Since then, the show has just gotten worse and worse.

It's been 15 years since reality TV emerged and i think it is high-time people started accepting that not everything in reality TV is pitch-perfect reality.

Then the channels need to stop lying to the viewers, stop calling these shows "Reality" .....

It's called reality because it is set in a real world, with real people and not in a fictional town with fictional characters. If people are too stupid to realize that, then it is not the networks fault. There isn't a reality show in the world that is 100% real to the bone (well maybe Survivor)and unless we work on said show, we can't know for sure how much do they twist the premise to make a better TV product.

Before the first IRT truck goes on the ice, there are plows creating and maintaining the ice road and other larger vehicles out testing the ice. And guess what, genius...they all leave tire tracks. If you're going to gripe about something, try picking something other than what a 6 year old who watches the show can figure out.

Unless they were assigned to a convoy, they all drove by themselves. In the early seasons, Hugh drove his own truck that had R&R on the doors. When he drove for Carlisle, he drove their truck. In Winnipeg, the first season there they all worked for one company, Polar, which explains why they all drove Polar trucks. The second season up there Darrell left Polar, leased a truck and started his own company and Hugh storyline started his own, VP Express and drove their trucks.

Yes Warren Buffett, that's how businesses are started. I drove for a company that expanded into a new area. While I was making deliveries out of our home city, which our local sales cold called for, I cold called at every building in the new area that had a shipping dock. That's how you develop and build accounts.

You really are an all around idiot, aren't you.

You're so stupid you'd tie yourself to that tree and whistle for the rabid wolves.

Fist thing is get a truck. Luckily he already had one.

apparently you need to watch a reality show which teaches you how to change the channel on your remote.
